Literature survey of automatic face recognition system and eigenface based implementation

Abstract:

There are three fundamental grounds for me to write this survey paper:
the first is to provide an uptodate
review of the existing literature, and the
second is to reveal some technical term that how a Computer can recognize a
Face (mostly the Algorithms) and the final intention to let know the beginners
research opportunity and various prospect of face recognition field
To provide a comprehensive survey, I started from the relevant
psychophysical studies that how human being perform this work. Then move on
to existing recognition techniques and present detailed descriptions of all
techniques. In addition, I put some comparative studies between systems and
tried to explain some preprocessing
difficulty (illumination, pose variation, image
quality etc.) and its explanation for face recognition system. Finally we tried to
implement a AFR system based on Eigenface method where we have added a
noise filtering .
